By employing a novel technique to examine how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have found that gut bacteria can ...

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

New research has uncovered a complex interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and the transcriptional responses ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller and structurally simpler than those in eukaryotic cells. These non-membrane-bound ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and a new-to ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...
